A BUILDER’S labourer was hauled before magistrates after failing to allow his electronic tag to be fitted.

A curfew order was imposed on Lee Carter as part of his sentence for assault and criminal damage. But Carter, of Fanny Moor Crescent, Lowerhouses, appeared again before Huddersfield magistrates yesterday.

The court was told that the 22-year-old didn’t allow G4S staff into his home to install electronic monitoring equipment.

They attended the property twice but could not contact Carter. Carter claimed he was in at the time but heard no knocking at the door.

Magistrates ordered him to seven days curfew for the breach, between the hours of 7pm and 6am.

The curfew will take place at his mother’s address in New Laithe Close. Carter was also ordered to pay £50 costs.
